We get to recap two games this week. Last Thursday, we had our Tournament of Champions with Sequoia North Pub Quiz. Really, we appreciate the opportunity to team up with another Pub Quiz, put on an extra event for you all, and let a team claim the belt of Fresno's Best Pub Quiz Team for a year. Like last year, the Fresno Pub Quiz teams showed well, so we're happy that you all could be so strong at the trivia. Ultimately, Alana is Satan took home the title and the prize. Congrats to them.

This week at Pub Quiz, we knew a lot of you might be a little distracted by game 7 of the World Series. That's okay, so were we. As we kicked off the game, the Giants we're finishing off the last inning and a half of their World Championship. Like the Giants/Royals game, our Pub Quiz was pretty close all four rounds. We even ended in a tie between Happy Halloween, We're Finally Princesses and Alana is Satan. Alana is Satan was closer on the length of I5 in the US and won the game. However, they didn't win the week 2 jackpot so it's growing and odds are getting better.

Next week brings the month of November, a growing jackpot with good odds, and hopefully more great games of Pub Quiz. See you then!

We're updating on Thursday because tonight is the Tournament of Champions!

This Wednesday @ Fresno Pub Quiz, Canadian Parliament Funkadelic got down, winning rounds 1 and 4, and were up for the down stroke on the win. However, their flashlight was turned off when it came to the jackpot. That's okay, it was only week 1 and now it'll start to build.

4-8-15-16-23-42 and I Can't Believe I Ate the Whole Thing scored well enough to be our last 2 teams to qualify. So tonight (Thurdsay) we'll have the Tournament of Champions over at Sequoia North. Representing Fresno Pub Quiz will be:The Secret Service is Neither Secret Nor a Service...DiscussNumber 1 is #1Alana is SatanLos Jugadores Mas FinasMarvel Presents: Ebola is Bigger in TexasPrincess Drowned Fly & the Salt Revival

In our third week of qualification for our Tournament of Champions, you all gave it your best. Or, perhaps you gave it your best because it was a guaranteed jackpot night. Whatever the reason, we had a fairly close game that had 4 different round winners, 3 lead changes, and ended in an overall tie. Our tiebreaker question settled it, and We Must Quarantine and Destroy Texas. Also, There's Ebola There triumphed. They pulled the ceremonial blue chip and took home the jackpot. Marvel Presents: Ebola is Bigger in Texas took home our 2nd place prize on the night.

Qualifying for our Tournament of Champions were Marvel Presents: Ebola is Bigger in Texas and Princess Drowned Fly & the Salt Revival. Next Wednesday is the last chance for teams to qualify, and next Thursday, October 23rd we will send our 8 best teams over to Sequoia North to face off against their 8 best teams to determine the royalty of Pub Quiz in Fresno. If you haven't qualified, there's still hope - you can qualify at either Sequoia North on Monday, or Fresno Pub Quiz on Wednesday.

It was week 2 of our qualifying for the Tournament of Champions and teams were working to get themselves qualified. Round one was super close, and the top 5 teams were within 2 points of each other. These teams stayed up there, with a little bit of movement and a lead change. Alana is Satan took down rounds 1 and 4, Bring Out Yer Dead took rounds 2 and 3. Ultimately, it was a half point in round 2 and a half point in round 3 that decided the game. Bring Out Yer Dead was spry enough to win the match, but they weren't lucky enough to win the jackpot. So, that means that next week there will be a...
GUARANTEED JACKPOT!
yes, we're down to one chip in the bag. Not only will we be qualifying 2 more teams for the tournament in champions, we'll for sure be giving away a jackpot win.

On the tournament of champions side, Alana is Satan and Los Jugadores Mas Finas worked their way into the game. 4 teams have qualified, and we'll qualify 4 more over the next 2 weeks. You can also qualify at Sequoia North Pub Quiz on Monday nights. October 23rd will be our night to crown a new champion of Fresno.

October is upon us. The Big Fresno Fair is here with all its delights. We have days and nights of pleasant weather, and others where you have no idea what time of year it is. And at Pub Quiz, you have preparation for our Tournament of Champions. For the second time we've joined up with Sequoia North Pub Quiz to have a little contest to crown the best Pub Quiz team in Fresno, qualifying teams from each of our regular games. On October 23rd we will crown some royalty.

This week, we had 12 teams matching wits. The game included several lead changes, great round scores, and hopefully a good time. The Secret Service is Neither Secret Nor a Service...Discuss was our eventual winner, but they didn't pull the jackpot. That means next week will be 50/50 odds. They qualified for the Tournament of Champions, and so did our second place team, Number 1 is #1.

We have 3 more weeks of qualification ahead. Teams can qualify at either Sequoia North on Mondays or Fresno Pub Quiz on Wednesday. Once your team qualifies, you're in, and every week each Pub Quiz will qualify two teams. The top 2 teams (that haven't qualified) get in, and then we'll have a face off on Thursday, October 23rd. Last year was at the Landmark, this year will be at Sequoia North. You don't want to miss out.
